Barcelona beat OL Lyonnais 4-0 in the UEFA Women’s Champions League Final at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo.

Lyon had a first-half goal ruled out for offside, and it was Barca who made the breakthrough 10 minutes into the second half, as Patri Guijarro played in Ewa Pajor for a clinical finish across Christiane Endler inside her far post.

Lyon were soon close to an equaliser when Lily Yohannes’s clever backheel set up Vicki Bècho’s shot, which was smuggled around the post by goalkeeper Cata Coll.

But Barcelona doubled their advantage in the 70th minute, Pajor scoring her second goal from a cutback by Salma Paralluelo.

Tabitha Chawinga broke through on goal for Lyon but Coll blocked her shot, before Paralluelo added a very late brace featuring a strike from outside of the box.
